Gary, Dale,
Will we be determining anything at the Geneva meeting? We are looking at the idea of having the ability to open an HTTP logical channel as part of our future developments. This would be used to support the call centre environment among other things. At the most the thoughts are a bit patching and more work needs to be done over the future study period, but the idea would be to declare an HTTP transmit capability in the cap set. A server could then ask a client to open a HTTP session to a particular address using the RequestMode message which would contain a URL. Since HTTP transactions are typically not persistent, doing the OLC signalling does not seem appropriate. This might be controversial so it would be good to start getting people used to the idea!!!
If no determination will be done, is it worth bringing things like this along as informational contributions?
At some point we also want to get to grips with the intergatekeeper stuff. We see this as particularly useful for instances of 'trunking' between gatekeepers and between gatekeepers and large gateways.
Also, what time frame would we be talking about for these sorts of additions in the next release? I suppose one affects H.245 and the other H.323/H.225.
Thanks,

Hi All,
The Jan/Feb SG16 meeting is drawing near.
Several recommendations are up for Decision at this meeting. In preparing for the meeting, I have asked the editors of the Q14 recommendations to collect any changes to the White Contributions in a "Change Document" that can be submitedt to the SG16 meeting as a Delayed Contribution or a Temporary Document.
Hopefully, any changes are minor or editorial. I do not know of any large or controversial issues.
We need to submit these "Change Documents" about two weeks before the meeting so that they will be distributed as Delayed Contributions. If we then review/approve the change documents at the WP2 Plenary on Monday Jan 26, we should be able to have them approved at the Tues SG16 Plenary.
Editorial or typographical corrections should be sent directly to the editor. Any more significant changes should be discussed and agreed to on the reflector. These more significant changes should be limited to fixing things that are broken, and not propose new functionality.
My goal is to sort out any controversial issues before we go to Geneva, and if necessary have a short, complete change document that everyone can agree, so that we can easily Decide the new recommendations.
